Think about this.

5 candidates left.
4 "claim" to be Christian.

The Vatican invited the 1 Jewish socialist to come speak.

Peace!

Ummmmm....not exactly.

Peace!

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has accepted an invitation from the Pope to the Vatican.

Mr Sanders, who is Jewish, accepted an invitation to Rome for a conference at the end of next week.

The Vatican visit is four days before the primary contest in New York, a competitive battle between him and front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Mr Sanders said he was not sure whether he would meet the Pope but he was a big fan of the pontiff.

The Vermont senator said they share the same views on inequality.

"He's trying to inject this sense of morality into how we do economics... and we need that absolutely desperately."

He will attend a conference on social, economic and environmental issues and give a speech on 15 April, his campaign said.

Mr Sanders and Pope Francis have similar views on fighting income inequality, he said, and he was "very moved" by the invitation from the Vatican.

He said he and the pope disagree on women's rights and gay rights, but Pope Francis has "injected a moral consequence into the economy".

The senator from Vermont is trailing Mrs Clinton but gaining momentum after a string of wins, most recently in the Wisconsin primary.

In the last few days, a mostly civil fight between the two became more personal as Mr Sanders accused his rival of not being "qualified" to be president.

Pope Francis said on Friday that the Catholic Church should be less strict and show more compassion to "imperfect" Catholics.

He called on the Church to be welcoming to gay Catholics but did not change the Church's views on LGBT families and marriage.

Pope Francis Endorses Bernie Sanders for President

Pope Francis Endorses Bernie Sanders for President

And we have this as well....from a few months ago....

Vatican City ? In a final speech to the synod, Pope Francis endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders for President of the United States, while taking some clear swipes at conservatives who hold up church doctrine above all else, and use it to cast judgment on others.

?The synod experience also made us better realize that the true defenders are not those who uphold its letter, but its spirit; not ideas but people; not formulas but free availability of God?s love and forgiveness,? Pope Francis said. ?I see in Senator Bernard Sanders a man of great integrity and moral conviction, who understands these principles and genuinely wants what?s best for all people.?

The pope went on to criticize ultra-conservatives, saying church leaders should confront difficult issues ?fearlessly, without burying our heads in the sand.? It was the latest in a series of admonitions to bishops by the pontiff, who has stressed since his election in 2013 that the 1.2 billion-member Church should be open to change, side with the poor, and rid itself of the arrogance and unfettered narcissism that has alienated so many Catholics in recent years.

Naturally, conservative Catholics are not happy with Francis for being so outspoken on social issues and American politics. ?The pope needs to stick to religion, and stay the hell out of politics,? says Cardinal Justin Francis Rigali. ?Conservative Catholics are losing faith in the Church, and this falls directly on the shoulders of Pope Francis with his socialist ideology and warped political views.?

Conservative news outlets like Fox News have taken issue with Pope Francis on everything from climate change to income inequality. Bill O?Reilly has numerous times compared Pope Francis to Bernie Sanders, accusing both of being ?false prophets.?

Liberals and progressives on the other hand applaud the pope for bringing social and environmental issues to the forefront of the Catholic Church. ?He?s a Catholic rockstar,? says Prudence Bradley, 19, from upstate New York. ?Pope Francis has made it cool to be a Christian again.?

Senator Sanders could not be reached for comment as of press time but we can safely assume he will be pleased to hear that Pope Francis is ?feeling the Bern.?

Well....

I attended church services every Sunday until I was 18, and then...

I graduated form a college which was supported by the Methodist church, and where attendance at religious services was mandatory along with religious studies....

I'm still not a Christian, but....I know something about Christianity.


Bernie Sanders, a Jew, exemplifies "Christian Values" better than any of the racist, hate-filled, fuck-the-poor Republicans.

And the Pope knows it.

Seriously, do you think the Pope would welcome a billionaire pig like Trump, or a hate spewing bigot like Cruz??

Not on this earth.

But Bernie? Sure, why not? Jesus was a Jew.

If you think the pope invited the Communist Bernie Sanders to the vatican because of his Christian values you know nothing. Which is very apparent Duff Trump.

100% true.

The only Christian "values" the Republicans value is the "right to life", which is funny when read the Bible and see all the discussion of killing.

:mj10:

Wow you're ignorant. Which concept is more in line with the teachings of Jesus? Communism or Capitalism? I'm not talking about Joseph Stalin type communism or political communism, but the basic principle of sharing among the community for the good of the community. Wake the fuck up.

 

[Jaxx]

communism, but the basic principle of sharing among the community for the good of the community.

:mj07:

Yes communism is a utopia.

And I am the ignorant one.

Exactly what I said, "Communism is a utopia". Actually, I asked you if Jesus would be a Communist or Capitalist.....but you won't answer it.

The Pope is a left wing moron :0008

 

[ChrryBlstr]

The Pope is a left wing moron :0008

And according to your banal definition, Jesus would be a the king of "left wing morons."

Others who would fall into the same category would be Gandhi, the prophet Mohammed, Mother Theresa, etc.

Now the real question is: What does this say about YOU?!!

Peace!

Jesus can answer for himself.

" Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." ~ John 14:6

Or how about THESE instead?!!

Matthew 19:24 - And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Isaiah 61:1 - The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound.

Deuteronomy 15:11 - For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

Mark 10:21 - Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

Luke 6:20-26 - And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [be ye] poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

But, whatevs....

Peace!
